What happens if I plug my QC

Acoustic Noise Cancelling
®
headphones
into another digital music player or
mobile phone?
The inline microphone and three-button remote of the QC
®
20i
headphones is designed for use with select Apple products. Audio will
function normally, but the volume up and down buttons will not work
with products not made by Apple. The answer/end function may or may
not operate properly, as this function varies from model to model.
What happens if I plug my QC
®
20i
Acoustic Noise Cancelling
®
headphones
into an older Apple product that isn’t on
the compatibility list?
The cable with inline microphone and three-button remote included
with the QC
®
20i headphones is only designed for use with select Apple
products. It is incompatible with the original iPhone; the headset will not
physically plug into the mobile phone. Other older Apple products will
play tracks, but volume control will not function. Depressing the
answer/end button may have some effect on music and phone calls,
but the exact response has not been determined.
What does the inline remote control do?
With the inline remote control, you can adjust volume, play/pause
tracks, skip forward/back on tracks, fast-forward or rewind within tracks
and change playlists. Depending on your Apple product, you also may
be able to answer/end phone calls, switch between calls and decline
an incoming call. The microphone supports mobile communications,
and you can access certain voice applications, such as VoiceOver or
Voice Control, where available.
Is the headset made by Apple? How do I
know it will function with my Apple
product correctly?
The QC
®
20i headphones are designed and built by Bose to exacting
standards. The headphones have received Apple certification to
confirm they are compatible with select Apple products as intended.
COMMUNICATION MICROPHONE FUNCTIONALITY
What type of microphone is used with the
QC
®
20 and 20i Acoustic Noise
Cancelling
®
headphones?
These headphones use an omnidirectional inline microphone, located at
the Y-joint in the center of the cable/cord. The location of the
microphone was selected and tested to ensure optimal performance. An
omnidirectional microphone generally picks up sound from any direction;
therefore, you should not have to hold the microphone close to your
mouth.
Can wind affect the microphone?
Yes. Wind noise may be picked up by the microphone, depending on the
orientation and the direction of the wind. For best performance, avoid
using the QC
®
20 and 20i headphones in extremely windy conditions.
